At this Wednesday’s Council Work Session, Council will consider a Resolution from the Administration to form an advisory committee that will make recommendations around redistricting the City Ward boundaries.

The Resolution can be read in full as part of the February 4th Work Session packet found on the City’s meeting page, but the gist is that normally Ward boundaries are revisited around every census, and while the 2022 Redistricting Advisory Committee recommended no change, the continued development in Ward 2 has subsequently added 500 additional residences further expanding the 2.8k resident delta between Ward 2 and Ward 1.

As currently proposed, the Redistricting Committee would be comprised of five persons, four of which would be appointed by the Mayor with Council’s confirmation, and one of which would be appointed by the Council President. They would make their report within six months of appointment and any redistricting changes would be in place prior to the November 2027 General Election.
